No, the Catholic Church, or any other Religious organization, should not have any influence on Politics.
I don’t think any religious power should have a say in governmental matters since they’re two different things and catholic ideologies aren’t applicable to everyone

No I believe that any remarks to Catholicism should be removed from the Irish constitution. Religion of any kind should hold no place in a fair and just society
Yes- as should other religious groups. Religious communities and beliefs play a fundamental role in people's lives, as well as the life of the country as a whole. People- and their religious representatives- should be able to express their beliefs on moral issues.
@9K2RWQZSocial Democrats9mos9MO
People having the freedom to express their beliefs is a fundamental tenant of free speech. Without freedom of expression, we are in serious trouble.
@9K7RC959mos9MO
No religion has no place in politics and would only lead to needless conflict amongst people in my opinion
@9HNK4WTFianna Fáil11mos11MO
Yes, As It's the Catholic-Church's-many-ideals...That focus on Marriage, And/or Education.

@9K4MSX69mos9MO
Absolutely not. The church have had too much of a say in the past and it led to child sexual abuse, erosion of woman's rights and social control.
No religion should be separate to political issues
@9K486Y89mos9MO
Yes I believe so. I believe the scandals of the church has nearly destroyed my religion but the reality of it is we cannot blame the religion for the monstrous acts of individuals. The church should have a say but not control.
I don’t think they should, as many people
Who live in Ireland aren’t carholic and shouldn’t have to follow the laws of a religion they don’t identify with
@9K35Y6Q9mos9MO
Religion for younger people is now more of a tradition.
@9HLFJTZIndependent Left11mos11MO
The Catholic Church has only proven itself to be a reactionary force that continues to block the advancement of the working class.
@9JXRFPNSocial Democrats9mos9MO
No, religions should be completely about faith and should have little to no involvement in politics, education, marriage, etc.
@9JXQFHQIndependent Left9mos9MO
No they should not. We have moved on from the 16th century and the church should solely be for voluntary practices inside its own buildings
@9JXN5QQIndependent Left9mos9MO
No. The Church should not be allowed to own property outside of things directly relevant to their religious duties and they should not be allowed to make a profit from their donations or intervene politically ever.
@9JG9VHWSocial Democrats10mos10MO
Absolutely not. No issue with anyone practising their religion but it has no place in politics
@9HH7MRJ12mos12MO
Not beyond the rights of individual members as citizens of the state.
@9K4NYRYFianna Fáil9mos9MO
The separation of church and state is a key element of a 21st century Liberal democracy.
@9JDWQY2Fianna Fáil10mos10MO
Well yeah, they should be able to give ideas to the politicians.
No, catholism should not control important matters as it if not applicable to everyone
@9K49HPHSocial Democrats 9mos9MO
Absolutely not. People are free to practice their religion in their own time; by having religion intertwined with the law it inherently makes it biased. Keep them separate.
@9K477JG9mos9MO
No it should have no say but be more of a moral advisor
